Editing The Force (section)

===Alter===
Alter is the broadest category and holds powers that alter the world around the user. In practice this works out to anything not covered by the above two schools. 
*<u>Telekinesis</u>: Control stuff with your mind! Easily the force power with the most variants. In addition to the many abilities to move specific things in specific ways, it's also the basis of some odd-ball powers like starting fires by agitating particles enough till a fire starts. Used on the user, it allows them to leap great distances. Used on the enemy, it can crush their vital organs, throw them into pits or throw heavy stuff at them. In virtually everything ''except'' the original WEG material, using telekinesis offensively (outside of force choke) is not considered a dark side act. 
*<u>Energy Projection</u>: Most commonly encountered in Force Lightning, this power allows the user to fire off energy as an attack. Generally dark side when used against living things, except for Force Judgement, a power used exclusively by Plo Koon. A handful of sources feature a different variant that pulls the energy of an opponent away from them, disabling them non-lethally and thus not a dark side power, but it's often considered [[Skub]]. Another non-dark variant occasionally seen in RPGs is a variant that only works on droids, but nobody really care about this (outside of maybe Clone Wars campaigns) because it's completely useless when fighting anything other than droids.
*<u>Immortality</u>: aka "Force Ghosts." Only a select number of Jedi have ever learned the secret of retaining their souls upon death so they can communicate with the living, rather than simply return to the Force. Qui-Gon Jinn discovered the technique, then posthumously passed it on to Yoda, then to Obi-Wan, and then the Skywalkers. As Obi-Wan put it, death, quite the opposite of setback, makes one "more powerful than you could possibly imagine." This ability is limited only those who commit themselves to the Light Side; while the Sith have also sought out immortality, they're limited to transferring their souls from one vessel to another, or else living a more wraith-like existence, bound to a place or object by their malice and hatred. Occasionally, powerful force users who died with one ore more outstanding concerns can keep themselves in a force ghost like state capable of regularly interacting with the world, like Darth Marr who hanged out for at least five years in this state so that he could see the Sith Emperor dead. The most extreme example is Revan, who essentially split into dark and light halves to survive before reunifying and kept his soul going in this state longer than Marr to see the same Sith Emperor dead.
